About Milligram-Force
One milligram-force (mgf) is the gravitational force on 1 mg under standard gravity - exactly 9.80665 × 10⁻⁶ N. It is the natural unit for ultra-precise analytical balances: a 0.001 mg readability balance resolves ~9.8 nN = 0.001 mgf. MEMS force sensors in precision weighing cells are specified in mgf. Watchmaking uses mgf gauges to measure hairspring and detent actuation forces. Entomology and microbiology measure insect and microorganism attachment forces in mgf. Aerospace composite strain sensors are calibrated with mgf reference weights. 1 mgf = 9.80665 µN = 0.980665 dyn.
About Ounce-Force
One ounce-force (ozf) is 1/16 of a pound-force - approximately 0.2780 N. It is used for small-scale US customary force measurements: postal scales, miniature connector insertion forces, and small latch springs. Hobby servo motor torque is rated in oz·in (ounce-inches); dividing by arm length gives force in ozf. Snap, zipper, and hook-and-loop closure test gauges specify pull-off forces in ozf. Cosmetic packaging component actuation forces (lipstick, compact closures) also use ozf. 1 ozf = 1/16 lbf = 28.3495 gf = 0.27801 N.
